Hello fashionistas! Welcome to my travel blog!

I am bitten by the travel bug again and since I can never get enough of shopping, I thought what better than a round trip to glorious London and Paris! It’s a no-brainer really; since I am set on shopping, those 2 cities pretty much win hands down. Fashion capital London with its style icons like Kate Moss and Sienna Miller and renowned designers Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood, it's definitely a pit-stop for fashion-lovers like me and Paris! Oh my God, who can resist shopping in Paris, a city which exudes chic elegance. Karl Lagerfeld , Coco Chanel...need I say more?

I just checked the weather online… it says 15-20 degrees Celsius in London and Paris right now-- cool! Lovely spot of weather to shop in if you ask me. Now I just have to book my air-ticket and do a little research on the best shopping spots in London and Paris. Oh, oh, I hear leggings are hot this season, I'll definitely go find meself some when there.

We all have different shopping habits, but what works for me is keeping an open-mind and staying creative! Savvy shopping means getting the most bang for your buck. While that sometimes may mean paying full-price for something that screams out your name, other times it is scouring the bargain bin. And never pooh-pooh those shops along the narrow alleys that are off the beaten track. Some of my best buys are from such non-traditional shopping spots like used-furniture stores, consignment stores and my absolute fave, flea markets. Not knowing what I might find there adds to the fun! My colleague Elaine once found a vintage Chanel quilt bag in Les Puces de Saint-Ouen, the world's biggest flea market. It was marked down and still in a fab condition! I absolutely have to go to some flea markets and discount designer outlets in London like, when I am there. Who knows… I might be luckier than Elaine! Drop me a note if you know some fave shops that I should visit when I am there!
